Simulated Star Iron: Miracles are yours, death is mine

Before he finished speaking, several black-clad knights raised their weapons, abandoned their immediate targets, and charged directly at Lin Yuan.

One of them, wielding a short sword, broke through their hastily assembled defenses and, despite sustaining several fatal wounds, killed several Molten Knights while running at full speed.

In the blink of an eye, they were already in front of Lin Yuan.

"AR001, die!" The man swung his sword at Lin Yuan and uttered just that one word.

Lin Yuan remained calm, showing no sign of panic. Instead, he turned to his right, dodging the attack.

then……

hum-

His left leg suddenly rose and kicked towards the black knight, creating a piercing whistling sound as it flew through the air.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the enemy was kicked away by Lin Yuan and exploded in mid-air.

Countless metal shards and chunks of flesh accompanied this simple, unadorned kick, scattering like petals from a fairy's shower.

The enemy soldiers were instantly covered in the blood and flesh of their comrades, but their attack speed was not affected in the slightest.

It was as if they hadn't seen their companion's gruesome death at all.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

These mysterious, black-clad knights exceeded his expectations in both combat ability and willpower.

To be fair, this is indeed reminiscent of the Grammer Knights.

Seeing that these people were completely uncommunicative, Lin Yuan had no choice but to order: "The agreement is passed, exterminate them all."

Although it's not as easy to talk to the dead as it is to talk to the living, you can always find something out about them.

He simply couldn't believe that such a massive army had appeared out of thin air.

It couldn't possibly have crawled out of the belly of a dead king insect, could it?

"Yes!" The accompanying Molten Knight immediately went into battle at his best.

Having received Lin Yuan's instructions, they were no longer concerned about anything else, and no longer worried about how to interrogate these people after they died.

However, it seems they don't have similar abilities either.

After all, the previous enemies were all insects, and the best way to deal with insects is to use your full-power punches.

Blast them all to dust and make them disappear!

Seeing all the attacking black knights killed, Lin Yuan's worries did not lessen; on the contrary, he became increasingly uneasy.

His subordinates reported the battle situation to him, but he had no interest in listening.

Without realizing it, he suddenly remembered a dream he had a few years ago.

He quickly connected his own experience with the enemy that appeared in his dream.

Every time he breaks free from synesthetic dreaming, he dreams again.

The content of the dreams is largely the same; most involve encountering various enemies, followed by a synesthetic dream in which one is left alone.

"We have the true swarming insect, the half-human, half-insect king insect, and the Grammer Iron Cavalry, so what are humans...?"

Wait, it can't be...

Will the humans of Grammer be his next enemy?

If that's the case, then it's not surprising that they lured themselves away from the mountain, moving here, far away from Grammer.

His expression changed, and he immediately ordered everyone to return to Grammer with him.

A moment later, the synesthetic dream brought the expected turmoil.

Immediately afterwards, more and more Molten Knights echoed with similar sounds.

"Unidentified Grammer cavalry have attacked the palace!"

"Halt! Which cavalry unit do you belong to?"

"Calling AR001, the enemy mech's distinguishing feature is black!"

What bothered Lin Yuan even more, and even annoyed him instantly, was a most unexpected voice.

"Lin Yuan, someone has attacked the palace! Her Majesty the Empress is in trouble!"

That was the cry of fireflies.

At this moment, Firefly was guarding the palace gate, her sword slaying one black knight after another.

These people went berserk and wanted to rush in and kill Titania.

And she naturally couldn't back down an inch!

Liu Ying grabbed a knight's fist, then ripped the arm off along with the mecha, blood and blue engine oil splattering everywhere: "You, all of you, get out of my way!"

Ten minutes earlier, at the time when the waiter brought Titania her daily cake.

It seems there's something wrong with the cake.

After that, Titania's connection with them became increasingly weak.

Through synesthetic dreams, Lin Yuan saw many scenes.

Countless dark knights are launching an attack on the palace area.

They were fearless and even resorted to self-destruction to breach the defenses built by the Molten Knights.

The Molten Knights unit that had just been deployed had been withdrawn from the palace.

This is the enemy deliberately weakening their strength.

His expression changed drastically: "Have they gone mad? How dare they attack Her Majesty the Queen!"

He knew that these men most likely did not belong to any of the Grammer Empire's currently known forces.

But to everyone's surprise, they actually dared to launch a direct attack on Her Majesty the Queen.

As Lin Yuan hurried on his way, he tried his best to call out to Titania in his synesthetic dream, wanting to confirm her safety.

For some reason, the synesthetic dreams are becoming increasingly turbulent, and there seems to be some inexplicable interference affecting telepathy.

He went to great lengths to re-establish a fragile connection with Titania.

“Poison…they poisoned it…in the cake…” Titania was no longer the authoritative woman she once was; every word she uttered seemed to be draining her last bit of strength.

Lin Yuan looked at Titania's tragic state, his eyes red: "Mom, what happened?"

“The reckoning… my child, we have been reckoned with.” Titania struggled to sit up, but then all her strength gave way, and she collapsed onto the golden throne.

"A lie, the Grammer Empire is a lie, I saw it... I saw the truth."

Many iron cavalry were summoned in the name of hibernation... and then died silently.

Then, these black iron cavalry arrived.

They want to kill us all.

The synesthetic dream, therefore... could not be maintained because of the interference, and needed to be completely restarted..."

"Mom, just hang in there a little longer, I'll be right back!" Lin Yuan roared, flapping his golden-red fiery wings, trying to go even faster.

Faster, faster! You must protect Mom!

But Titania's eyes gradually dimmed and lost their light, and when she looked at Lin Yuan, there was a hint of helplessness and apology in them.

She had already sensed that something was wrong, but the Science Council could erase many of her memories and thoughts.

Until a Molten Knight escaped from the assembly plant that slaughtered the knights and told her part of the truth at the cost of his life.

Then, the ruling council changed its mind and decided to strike first by poisoning her food.

Now she knows that she and countless other Molten Knights are living in a lie, fighting for a non-existent nation.

She was no longer afraid of death.

But the surviving Molten Knights have all made huge sacrifices to end the locust plague.

They shouldn't have died so confused and ignorant.

Many Molten Knights had no idea what was happening or what they were supposed to do.

Because the synesthetic dream was on the verge of collapse, signal transmission became even more difficult.

The current situation is unknown.

This was naturally the work of the Science Council and the ruling parliament.

Moments later, Titania made her final decision.

“My child, come here.” She reached out with all her might to stroke Lin Yuan’s face. “Only you, only you, can lead the Grammer Cavalry to continue.”

Amidst Lin Yuan's choked sobs, the synesthetic dream vanished at an unprecedented speed.

Every Molten Knight can sense this terrifying phenomenon.

Before they could even cry out in surprise, the synesthetic dream restarted, bringing them back into the network.

Then they saw Lin Yuan kneeling before the golden throne, while Titania remained silent, as if asleep.

This is the death of the Empress.

as well as……

The new emperor's ascension to the throne...
